Deputy AG seeks Ghislaine Maxwell meeting in Epstein investigation
Share this @internewscast.com

The Department of Justice is changing its approach to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has reached out to Ghislaine Maxwell to see if she is willing to cooperate with the authorities.

On Tuesday, Blanche confirmed that the DOJ, directed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, is open to learning any information Maxwell might have about other, uncharged people involved in Epstein’s criminal operations.

“This Department of Justice is determined to uncover the truth and is committed to pursuing justice, wherever the evidence may lead,” Blanche stated in a post on X Tuesday.

That memo, which was signed by FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, sparked controversy after President Donald Trump, Bondi and FBI leaders repeatedly said they would release all documents related to Epstein.

Sources told Fox News that Bongino, who signed off on the memo, complained about it in private following public backlash.

The new outreach to Maxwell is in the hopes that Epstein’s convicted accomplice “has information about anyone who has committed crime against victims,” Blanche said.

“President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence…” he wrote. “Therefore, at the direction of Attorney General Bondi, I have communicated with counsel for Ms. Maxwell to determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department.”

The new outreach to Maxwell marks the first time, according to Blanche, that any administration has approached her legal team with an inquiry into potential cooperation. 

“That changes now,” Blanche emphasized.

Blanche said he “anticipates meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days.”

David Oscar Markus, Maxwell’s attorney, confirmed to Fox News that they are “in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully.”

“We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case,” he said.

Patel responded succinctly to Blanche’s statement, writing on X Tuesday: “Get it.”

Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of helping Epstein traffic teen girls. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison and has appealed her case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the DOJ and the FBI for comment.
